2)Nice cars, but have the same problem as early Scoobies in that the internals were not ever designed to run more than a bar of boost, so modifying them is quite expensive, as they need better internals to go above 300bhp.
3)REALLY shit brakes for the standard power, let alone a tweeked one

Nice cars

1) There's a couple of guys on the Gtir forum that'll do clutches for you if need be, cheap (ish) and in a day
2) If the fuelling and ignition are spot on you can run over 400bhp on standard internals
(americans claim 500on standard internals
3) pretty much true
You don't need alot of money to make these fast. 1bar will see 275ish on average and high 12 1/4s. My car only has 246 and will do 13dead
like any car, buy a dog and you'll be cying all the way to the bank, get a good one and you'll be smiling all the way there.
